THE HIBBERT ASSEMBLY

More than 1 in 200 people experience epileptic seizures but
many people are unaware of the true nature of this medical condition and
in some areas it still carries a wholly unjustifiable stigma. Julius
Caesar is one of the most famous figures to have had epilepsy. The month
of July was named after him and his birthday, probably 12 July, provides
an occasion to promote greater knowledge and understanding.
